Improvement in churn-dashers

y www@ wBe it known that 1,Jrcoe W. M'ccLUR-, of Jefferson1City,in the county of Gole and in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and use Improvements inChurn-Dash ers; and dohereby declare that the i I' following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, lreference being had `to thenccompanying drawing making a part of thisspeccation, in which- Figure lis avertical central longitudinal section of Figiire-2 is a verticalcrosslsectionof the same, on

Figureis `a`iike1 ve`w offa modification of the e fers of like namejand-kind refer to like yparts in VMylnvention is anlnnprovementin'churnshaving revoluing dashers; and I It tionsists in the peculiar shapel ,of the dasher, as4 is ,hereinafter set forth." I 1 In the annexed drawing-` 1 Arand A' representthe sides, `B 4andB' the ends, and CI the curvedbotltom ofanoblong boxjor churn,

whicliparts arejsecured together in the usual `manguer, and the whole iuclosedfupon' the up'per side by means of la cover, D, fitting finto and resting within y alight-angled1ahbet,`a,extending around the upper innerlcorner of the side andendpieces.

` `Placed horizontally withnthechurn near the cen- `ter, tiansversely,.is "a dat wooden bai-,E, one end, of

` wliicii is pivoted uponthe pointed end of a screw, F, whileltlie opposite end is secured 'to or upon 'a short sh'aft,lG,`-that,lfrom thence, passes outward through I the endpiece B,and s`provided with a toothed pin- `ion, H, whichmeshes with and receives motion from a geaiiwheel, I, said 'gearwheel being pivoted upon the end of the churn', `and provided with `a projecting stud,

I fi, by means of which it lis operated.

`Secured to and `projecting radially from' eqnidistant points upon the edgesfofthe bar E is a seriesof aims`K,vwhich,as seen in figs. 1 and 2,'curve:for' ward; and have their sides.` beveled in thesame direc- -tion,lso 'as to give tothe front edge of each arm a 4wedge or knife-shape, while their rear sides are at,

and, transversely, standat a" right angle to :the line ofmfotion. y I

IMPROVEMENT IN CH'URN-DASHERS.

l,The ,Sctvxecv'iule'4 referred to in these'Lelttexs Patent andmaking part'cf the same.

The arms heilig placed so that those of one series come opposite the spaces between those of the other seriesythedevice is complete, and is operated as follows:

`A suitable `quantity of cream having been placed within thewchurn, the dasher is caused to revolveV in the direction shown by the arrows in tig. 2, by which means the cream is forced, with much violence, through the wedge-shaped openings between the arms, breaking the sacks, and liberating the globules of butter, in alsmall-,fraction of the time usually required.

When vallthe butter has beenliberated, it is quickly vand thoroughly collected, by reversingl the motion of the dasher, so as to present the broad edges of the arms.. i

In order that the butter may be more readily collected in -one mass, it may be found advantageous to curve the armsin an opposite direction to those before described, or, as shown in iig. 3, vwith their sharp edges` convex, and their broad edges concave, by which means the butter collected by the latter will `naturally incline toward the center, and be more readily removed from the milk.

' The especial advantages possessed by this device are, that, from the peculiar' shape and construction of the dasher, the milk is snbjected'to greater friction than by other devices intended for a like purpose, and,

thereby, the butter globules are more quickly and thoroughly broken, after which the' reversing of said dasher causesthe butter to collect in one mass with great rapidity.

. Having thus fully set l'orth the nature and merits of my invention,

The hereinbefore described churn-dasher, consisting of theecurved wedge-shaped arms K, secured radially to or upon a shaft, substantially as and for the purpose/shown. 1 y

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have here-` unto set my hand this`25th day of April, 1870.
